Golf tees might be one of the simplest pieces of equipment in the bag, but they play a bigger role than many golfers realise. The right tee height can help with consistency, launch, and confidence off the tee box.

Getting Your Tee Height Right

As a rough guide, half the ball should sit above the top of your driver's face at address - too low and you'll catch it thin, too high and you risk ballooning it with excess spin. For fairway woods and hybrids off the tee, aim for the ball to sit level with, or just above, the clubhead. Irons are usually played with the tee barely showing above the turf, just enough to remove the grass from between the ball and the face.

Choosing a Material

Wooden tees are the traditional choice - cheap, biodegradable, and they snap cleanly rather than splintering awkwardly. Plastic tees are more durable and reusable round after round, though they don't break down in the environment. Performance tees, often featuring reduced-friction heads or flexible prongs, are designed to cut down on sidespin and deliver marginally longer, straighter drives - popular with golfers chasing every last yard.

At Golf 360, you'll find a wide range of golf tees including wooden tees, plastic tees and performance tees designed for different club types and playing preferences. Whether you're teeing up a driver, fairway wood, or iron, there's an option to suit your game.
